A tiny tool to allow google user to start EC2 instances from a list of Launch Template already created. It can be used to not provide startInstance IAM right yo your users.
It's also possible to snapshot and restore instances!
The backend is managed serverlessly via SST. The frontend is a React application. It's design to be deployed on AWS.
Run the backend only (you need only that to use a local frontend):
pnpm install
pnpm dev
Start the frontend:
cd packages/web/
pnpm dev
no need to provide environment variables, are these are made available to the frontend via SST.
Deploy the infrastructure with SST (front and back stack) (it push the frontend to S3 and invalidate cloudfront distribution)
npx sst deploy --stage prod --region eu-central-1 # on aws prod account
npx sst deploy --stage demo --region us-east-1 # on aws demo account
To add cost center list so that the frontend can make use of it, add items directly from the AWS GUI:
visit DynamoDB section
search for {stage}-ec2-leaser-config
See below for an example on how to enter the items in the table.
